Category Archives: Avocado

As I wrote earlier, I had bought an avocado today, whose seed I want to turn into a bonsai tree. Just for the sake of completeness, I will write how to do it:1 Get an avocado.2 Carefully cut in in half without cutting too deep into the seed.3 Eat the flesh in salad, guacamole or just pure with some salt, pepper and lemon.4 If necessary, clean the seed.5 Get three toothpicks or similarly thin sticks and prick them into the avocado seed about a third from the top (the pointy part).6 Get a container like an empty mustard or olive glass with a diameter not much larger than the diameter of the seed.7 Place the seed inside using the toothpicks to not let it sink in completely.
It could look something like this:

8 Wait. And refill and change the water from time to time.
(I know, I could’ve added that to the previous post, but I wanted to be able to find it easier, so I can later determine how long it took to germinate.)
